Wonderful. So fresh and young, yet so accessible. A beautiful warm nose of rose peddles, forest flowers, elegant smell of plum, earthiness. Such a round well balanced mouth feel, coating the mouth with plum, chocolate. Really enjoyed this with cacio e peppe and an heirloom tomato salad.

really nice, very approachable for a very very young Barolo... never seen this before (other than the one bottle that caused me to buy a case more)... a tiny bit of tannin but not obtrusive in any way, high acidity (perfect), brightness and red fruit, some hints of spice / cedar... very nice... wonder if this will shut down at some point for 5-7+ years... hope not but frankly am confused by the approachability for this young a Barolo

I CANNOT believe I would give a 5 year old Barolo (esp. from Serralunga) this high a rating... and to beat that -- describe it as giving and elegant... this felt like a high end 25 year old pinot... or maybe a 2007 burgundy with high acidity that became the rails for some stunning red fruit, little to no noticeable tannins... just amazing, glad I have a bunch -- suspect they won't last past the next five years (unless this wine shuts down)... why wait???
